Welcome
Please join us for the 18th annual Symposium on Emotion, April 18 and 19. This meeting is absolutely unique in that it allows the speakers to an hour to present their work and an additional hour is dedicated to an open discussion of each presentation. The discussion is led by UW students that have participated in a course this semester that is focused on the work of the presenting scientists.
Another unique aspect of the meeting is the travel scholarship awards provided by the HealthEmotions Research Institute to support the expenses of up to 25 trainees from the US and around the world to come to Madison to participate in the meeting. This is a wonderful opportunity for students at all levels (undergraduate, graduate, medical students, residents in Psychiatry and post-doctoral PhD candidates) to interact with world class scientists and to meet UW-Madison faculty.
Every year we hear from participants that this meeting, where experienced scientists make a special effort to reach out to trainees, helps forge enduring collegial relationships. I urge you to join us for a extraordinary learning experience.
